M164 Addition to 13 Professors' Square

John Honeyman & Keppie added a
Gothic gabled porch in dressed and rubble
yellow sandstone at the existing front door on the E. elevation of 13
Professors' Square, University of Glasgow. The work coincided with the
appointment of the client Reverend Robert Story as Principal of the University and his
taking up residence in the house. 1

Authorship: This is one of over 270 jobs carried out in
the office of John Honeyman & Keppie (Honeyman, Keppie & Mackintosh from 1901) during
Mackintosh's time there. Mackintosh undoubtedly worked on many of these, but
there is no specific evidence for his involvement in this case.
